The YOUNGO Food and Agriculture Working Group compiled this first volume to spotlight the innovation, resilience, and leadership of young people, farmers, Indigenous Peoples, NGOs, and networks working on food and agriculture around the world. Each entry documents a real, youth-led initiative, offered as a living resource for the SSJWA online portal and for anyone looking for what youth-led climate action in food systems actually looks like on the ground.
